This is a tulip to be planted in drifts when it is most effective, although in containers you could plant a double layer for a massed effect. At between 45-55cms tall, Budlight is a mid-border tulip. In full sun, you will see one of the most subtly coloured cream and lemon-gold tulips there is. Planted in semi shade the colours are less vivid, but the flowering period can run into June. Its stems are strong so it does better than most tulip sin a windy spot, and it makes a perfect cut flower. For fun, try interplanting it with other tulips such as Burning Heart, Apeldoorn or even Burgundy Lace. Alternatively why not choose from our selection of wallflower seedlings which complement tulips so well.
